Jerad Origin and Meaning

The name Jerad is a boy's name.

Jerad is a masculine name that serves as a variant spelling of Jared, which has Hebrew origins meaning 'descent' or 'he who descended.' This alternative spelling emerged as parents sought ways to make traditional names more distinctive while maintaining their original sound and heritage. Jerad gained modest popularity in the United States during the 1970s through the 1990s but has always remained less common than the standard Jared spelling. The name carries biblical connections as Jared appears in the Old Testament as a descendant of Adam. With its strong consonants and clear pronunciation, Jerad projects a masculine energy while its slight spelling variation gives it a contemporary edge that sets it apart from the more traditional form.
